6 Outdoor Activities in Central L.A That You Shouldn't Miss
Hollywood beckons to tourists who long for a brush with Tinseltown glamor. Tour movie studios, slip your hands into the famous prints at the TCL Chinese Theatre, or indulge in a celeb sighting at one of LA’s white-hot nightspots. Spot your favorite star while shopping at The Grove, or forget all about the famous eye candy as you take in the iconic artwork at The Getty Center. For a different type of star-gazing, peek through the telescopes at the Griffith Observatory.

1. Hollywood Reservoir

Great place to go hiking on any of the several scenic trails that surround the lake.

Only went here as our teenage son wanted to see the FaZe house where professional gamers live. It is right next to the reservoir. Glad he made us make the trip. This is a hidden gem. We were the only ones there mid week but apparently gets crowded with 2000+ people in weekend. The was the closest and clearest view of the Hollywood sign (much closer than Griffith) and a relax hiking destination. Super friendly ranger just happened to be on hand and was full of info. He pointed out some celebrity houses, explained history of the reservoir and some quirky stories, like when it was closed so that President Clinton could jog the trails.

Tour LA on horseback: saddle up and ride over the ridge into Burbank, have a Mexican meal and ride back to the stables by moonlight.

I have never been here and I have lived in Orange County for 33 years. It was a beautiful drive. My husband loves to drive and her really enjoyed all of the switchbacks. I was happy to just be a passenger as if I was the driver I would not have appreciated all of the spectacular scenery along the way. Due to time constraints, we didn't go all the way to Wrightwood (another day when we have more time!) Highly recommend as you feel you are so far detached form civilization, but in reality only a hop skip and a jump from the greater LA area. Bathrooms and picnic areas were open and there were quite a few people gathered at those areas. We wanted to isolate so did not stop there. Tons of hiking and a few overnight camp areas up in the Angeles National forest as well for those more adventurous.

5. Josephine Saddle
Twenty five minutes from downtown LA feels like 500 miles: gorgeous landscape decorates this trail leading from Strawberry Potrero to Strawberry Springs.
